[VB6] Renaming a ListBox Item?

[Shaun Dreclin]

Pretty straightforward. Is there a way to rename an item in a list box?

[Aziz]

First off, why are you using VB6 and not VB .NET? VisualBasic .NET 2005 Express Edition is a free download from Microsoft.

Second, I'm not sure of VB6, but in .NET you would have to edit the Items property of the ListBox. Something like lstBox.Items(i).Text = "Foo"

Aziz i'm pretty sure most schools still use Visual Basic 6.0 instead of .NET. To add an item to a list in visual basic 6.0 is straightforward.

code:

lstbox.AddItem "cool dude"

[Aziz]

Well they shouldn't. At least my college used .NET. Bad enough they were teaching VB anyways. At least I get Java classes this year.

Anyways, thanks for the info cool dude!

I know how to add an item, I want to know how to rename one that's already there

And I'm using VB6 instead of .NET because my friend doesnt know .NET, and hes the one who offered to teach me.
(I would have asked him, but hes gone on a camping trip lol)

Nows a good of a time as any to learn.

Oh lord. I sound like wtd.

Either way, there's lots of books and online articles. You can download Express Edition directly from the MS website. Then YOU can start teaching your friend!


google "change listbox item vb6"

wtd would never advocate learning VB.

lmao we meatn that wtd would say that nows a good time to learn as any time not in the same context (being VB) but in general wtd would say this

I could've went farther and said to just learn C# if you're going to be in the MS world. Or, in the true spirit of wtd, learn some obscure crazy functional objective literal language called JHairball.

BTW, Shaun, see if the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network).
